SAKEE SED
gruppo nato come
DE SEEKAS
Le lettere si invertono, come in uno specchio.

Parole senza senso? Forse.

Sakee Sed sono Marco Ghezzi e Gianluca Perucchini, due ragazzi bergamaschi classe 1984 e 1986, cresciuti alle basi della Roncola (monte bergamasco).
"Alle basi della Roncola" proprio il titolo del loro album d'esordio, particolare, colorito e tetro allo stesso tempo, compatto e multi sfaccettato, semplice e complesso.
Il disco nasce dalle melodie magiche di Howard, pianoforte di inizio secolo da Saloon, con il sapore di tabacco ancora intriso nei tasti e nel legno e dai ritmi spazzolati di batteria.
Chitarre acustiche, elettriche, vibrafoni, banjo, uculele, organi, basso e cori si agganciano organicamente a questo scheletro a cui viene, alla fine 'donata' la voce mattutina di Marco.
Strumenti vecchi e usurati e registrazioni semplici caratterizzano il suono.
Giochi di parole, metafore e allusioni caratterizzano i loro testi.
I loro brani ci portano in un mondo fisicamente e storicamente sospeso tra la lontana America dei saloon e la quotidianità vissuta.
“Alle Basi della Roncola” raccoglie 13 canzoni che alternano leggerezza e paranoia, amicizia e odio, fantasia e delirio, a metà tra una grigia dimensione rurale e un cartone animato multicolor bagnato di LSD.
Il verso dell’asino, la maestosità degli alberi. La concretezza di alcune immagini si incastrano a testi che hanno il sapore di una triste favola.
Dal vivo i Sakee Sed ripropongono il disco, variando il set da acustico a elettrico e, spesso coadiuvati dalla 'family' una cricca di musicisti che comprende Roberta Sammarelli (Verdena), Nicolas Restivo [n!], Martina Togni e Thomas Maffi.

SAKEE SED
The band was born as
DE SEEKAS
Letters turned upside-down, like in a mirrow

The Sakee Sed are Marco Grezzi and Gianluca Perucchini, guys from Bergamo, Italy, born between 1984 and 1986, grown in the nearby of the "Roncola", a grey mount in Bergamo. After a two-years experience with the band De Seekas, a band with a stoner-rock attitude, the two guys began to deal with Howard, a piano from the beginning of the century, which drives them to turn letterally upside-down their style and name.
"Alle basi della Roncola" (At the feet of the Roncola) is the title of their debut album as Sakee Sed, coloured and dark at the same time, compact and multifaceted but of great impact. The album contains 13 tracks that blend a sense of lightness with paranoia, friendship and hate, fairy and frenzy, everything hanging by a grey rural dimension and a coloured world soaked in LSD.
Old and vintage instruments, very simple and low-fi recording characterize the album. On the Howard’s tunes and on a dancing drumming, we find ourselves catapulted back to the old saloons of the 50s and we can even smell tobacco. Everything is surrounded by harmonies of acoustic and electric guitars, vibraphones, banjo, ukulele, horgans, basses, chorus, melted with Marco, just awake, voice.
Puns, metaphores and allusions characterize the lyrics. The reality of some images fits in novels that remind of a melancholy fairy.
Sakee Sed still seem to be able to listen to the children novels, the sound of nature and its becoming human, and involve all: introspective sound and stories of drugs and alchool, medicines, fears, everyday life and love.
Sakee Sed usually change their live sets, sometimes unplugged, sometimes loud and electric, and they are supported on stage by "the family", some friends and musicians of them, like Roberta Sammarelli (Verdena), Nicolas Restivo [n!], Martina Togni e Thomas Maffi.
